Yapta's hotel rebooking tool now can rebook like-for-like rooms within the same property automatically, without assistance from an agent. To do so, Yapta reviews for the same rate code, same bed type, same room type, same or better cancellation policy, and same or better amenities. Travel managers also can target properties with negotiated rates only and those with commissionable rates. Yapta launched a test of the functionality two months ago with fewer than 10 clients. According to Yapta, those clients saw a 30 percent increase in savings and a 35 percent decrease in agent costs compared with Yapta's traditional approach. The option is now available to all clients, who can choose between the traditional, manual approach or the new automation.
